One day you wake up and everything is the same, you’re in the same body, the same house, you eat the same breakfast, drink the same tea, the weather outside is the same, your job is the same, your friends are the same as ever, you watch the same tv at night. It’s like Groundhog Day, but time *has* moved on
However, you feel like it’s all a show, it isn’t really happening. You know it is, because rationally speaking nothing is off, but everything feels slightly off. You just can’t pinpoint what it is. Is this you? Your house?
This goes on for days, weeks, perhaps even months, you’re a shell of a person now, until one fateful night you come back to your tv from your toilet break and see a commercial for Tide Pods. That’s what you’ve been missing, you feel it straight away. Excitement fills your body, it tingles, you are a new person, in a new house, with a fresh new life. And you eat Tide Pods, so coooool mmm

“It was all a dream” trope, except it was real all along
You’re getting annoyed that the movie is stuck in a dream sequence for so long, but then the plot twist comes and you realise the protagonist has been genuinely fucking up their life and you feel even more annoyed
Is there any film that combines cringecore (curb?) with high pace anxiety à la uncut gems? You’re stressed and filled with secondhand embarrassment, throw in a jumpscare and you’ve got the horror of real anxiety

Therapist says he’s fine and doesn’t have to see therapist. He says no, therapist needs the clients is barely making ends meet. Therapist says he’s overempathetic
Are you numb to the attraction of the tracks?
We’re not here to capture an image, we’re here to maintain one. Every photograph reinforces the aura. … they are taking pictures of taking pictures—AI and the reinforcement of that which is thought to be seen
At the airport I saw a man who looked just like a picture. I asked him “are you Gerald?” recalling the caption that had appeared just below it. He looked me up and down briefly, hesitating, but nonetheless with a polite expression “do you work here?” “No. I don’t,” I said, “but I’m an artist too, you see.” Halfway through the sentence his expression changed, showing one of the finer un-British emotions, and simply walked off
As the morning settled in, he happened upon wide awakening; his gaze shooting through the glass and into the trees, his eyes at once closed in rest and wide open. Not observing—taking in, he thought. Moist and cold air brought in birdsong and the rustling of leaves as he widened the crack in the window. Without averting his gaze he seamlessly dropped into the chair and reached for the pen

Long cnc arm attached to ceiling with camera that follows visitors around, looking for someone who expresses fear, locks on to them and follows them around. Makes pictures of this person and scans the internet to find information about them, displays this on led screens around the gallery

Big stickers next to mouse pad on old laptops. Do they still do this?
Content v art / content in art or as art / filler as art; like album, 2 good songs rest filler or dbz episodes—painters, series of paintings, also installations with bits and stuff—interesting relation to online content? Content amalgamation like sludge?

Gamified identity
Beast that once seen/rendered visible turns into /appears as thing of beauty—contrasting the more obvious everything is great until you get up close. Everyone is nice until you get to know them, realise that they too are human and carry around shit in their intestines—thing of fairytales; beauty and the beast, etc. but extremified: it is only a beast before it is seen. Does a tree falling in a forest make a noise if nobody is there to notice it? Is a killer who never killed and never will a killer?
French epitome of cultured, yet lack of knowledge on and disinterest in culture beyond their borders?
